Last Ten Books I’ve added to my TBR

Nov 8, 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Ten Books I’ve Added To My TBR List Lately

I always forget to add books to be ‘to read’ shelf on Goodreads, even some of my most anticipated books aren’t on there. Most of the time I know what I want to read, the books that I normally add to the list are ones that I have never heard of before, that have just caught my eye. The thing is I don’t even go back on it to reference – anyway, here at the last ten books, I’ve added to my tbr.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber: The sound of this book intrigues me from the get go. It sounds like the magic is going to sweep me up and take me on a journey.

Asking for It by Louise O’Neill: Books that explore that is happening right now, how women/girls are treated always catches my attention. I feel like Asking for it will be raw, real and hard to read.

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab: I have yet to read anything by Victoria Schwab, but I have heard next to nothing bad, about her books. I will get to it someday. Where should I start?

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan: I read You Know Me Well earlier this year and saw David during the Melbourne Writers Festival and damn he was good. I just want to read everything by him now.

Nova by Rebecca Yarros: Here is another one of those that I forget to add books I am looking forward to. I have loved Rebecca Yarros’ books in the past and Nova is book 2 in her new series. It’s coming out soon…I hope. (This is the cover for the first book since Nova’s cover hasn’t been released)

Lucky in Love by Kasie West: It’s Kasie West do I need to say more? Her books and heartbreaking and adorable and always what I need.

Now I Rise by Kiersten White: I loved And I Darken earlier this year and I cannot wait for more. The world is intriguing and I want to know what is going to happen on Lada and Radu’s journey.

Cold Summer by Gwen Cole: I hadn’t heard about this until I saw it pop up on my Goodreads feed a couple of weeks ago. It’s a mix of science-fiction and history partly set in World War 2 – yes, please.

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas: I loved when I read The Darkest Corners by Kara a while ago. Gosh, it messed with me, but I have a feeling that this is going to be 10 times as worse. I need it.

Avenged by Amy Tintera: When I read Ruined at the stat of the year, I knew that this series will be for me and with that ending I need Book 2 – now.

YA Book Club Reads

Nov 1, 2016

Because I am all about the YA, I thought why not share young adult books that I think book clubs might love to read. There is a range of different YA here, some older, some newer. There is a range of genre’s and authors and just a little mix of everything. Nevertheless, these are also in particular order.

YA Book Club Reads

Something in Between by Melissa De La Cruz: Such an important book that is topical. It was a refreshing and smart and that I think every teen and adult should read. Full Review coming soon.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo: Addicting characters, wonderful world and a plot that had me turning page after page.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: Daughter of Smoke and Bone is truly an original piece of writing that is utterly beautiful, the words dance from page to page. It takes the normal Angel stories and throws them in the bin.

Frankie by Shivaun Plozza: Frankie by Shivaun Plozza is a brilliant debut novel that captured my heart. It’s a story of heartbreak, belonging, finding yourself and what it is to be a family | Full Review #LoveOzYA

Every Series by Ellie Marney: A breathtaking, original series that will have you on the edge of your seat. You will not know what will happen next and you will be begging for more. #LoveOZYA

Disruption and Corruption by Jessica Shirvington: Has enthralling characters, an engrossing world and a plot that just keeps you right there in the action. A must read for everyone that loves YA and beyond. Full Review #LoveOZYA

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys: Beautiful, captivating, extraordinary. Salt to Sea brings to light a catastrophe that has been forgotten. With stunning writing and intriguing characters Ruta Sepetys brings a novel that tells a story that everyone needs to read. Full Review.

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: You are kept on the edge of your chair with many twists and turns. #LoveOzYA

All the Rage by Courtney Summers: Important, brilliant and just breathtaking. However, it’s heartbreaking and hard to read.

The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub: Is enchanting book, that will tear you apart and put you together, over and over again. Be prepared because you will be taken on a ride with 5 students in their last year of high school. Full Review #LoveOZYA

TTT: Six Villains that are fantastically brilliant

Oct 5, 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Bookish Villains.

Villains always intrigue me. I love seeing how their minds work, how they have become who they are. I like seeing that some are just plain evil, while others are villains in different ways. My list isn’t particularly long or in an order.

Lada from And I Darken: Lada was fierce and scary and totally took me by surprise. I cannot wait to get into her head again | Review

Voldemort from Harry Potter: Another villain that I find quite interesting, he had a pretty crap upbringing, but still held a prejudice towards people.

Villain from Lady Midnight: Okay so I haven’t named who this person is because the reader doesn’t know until the end. But this person was intriguing and daring. I cannot wait to see what Lord of Shadows brings | Review

Queen Levana from the Lunar Chronicles: Terrifying much. So transfigured and overwhelmed by her desires that she makes a perfect villain.

Sebastian Morgenstern from The Mortal Instruments: Horrifying, manipulative, and oh so evil; yet very interesting.

Lillian from the Worldwalker Trilogy: Does some pretty horrible stuff, is manipulative, but she is not the only evil one | Review Trial by Fire, Firewalker.

Okay so I don’t have a list of 10, but close enough. What are some of your favourite villains? Do we share any? Let’s Chat!
